From a very young age she became an avid reader of literature, which fostered independent thinking, which made her establish "rebellious" ideological positions in the "nun" school where she received her basic education.

She created her first work of art when she was 12 years old. At 15 she enrolled in the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid. This occurred between the years 1924 and 1929. In fact, she was one of the first women to be part of this Academy.

In 1937 she traveled to France. But when the Nazis arrived in that country in 1941, she emigrated to Mexico, where she surrounded herself with prominent writers and artists from that country.

Remedios Varo was part of the "Logicofobista" group, which aimed to use surrealist works to represent various mental states of human beings.

In 1947, Varo was in Venezuela, on the occasion of a health campaign to combat malaria. In our country she worked as an entomological illustrator, as well as advertising work for the Bayer laboratory. In addition, she was part of the malarology institute of Venezuela.

In 1949 she returned to Mexico. There she married Walter Gruen, an Austrian refugee in Mexico, who proposed that she devote herself completely to painting, while he made sure that she did not lack anything to live comfortably. She lived with him until the date of her death, on October 8, 1963, when she was 55 years old.

Below we present three of her works so that you can choose the one you like the most to write about. The first is titled Harmony (1956), the second, Disquieting Presence (1954) and the third Revelation (the watchmaker) (1959).
